Everything about Pseudobulweria totally explained
Pseudobulweria is a
genus of
seabirds in the
family Procellariidae. The genus has long been retained with the
gadfly petrel genus
Pterodroma despite morphological differences. Recent
mtDNA cytochrome b sequence analysis has confirmed the split out of
Ptereodroma and places the genus closer to the
Puffinus shearwaters (Bretagnolle
et al. 1998).
Three of the
Pseduobulweria species are listed as critically
endangered. The
Fiji Petrel and
Beck's Petrel are among the least well know seabird species on Earth, with the breeding
colonies of the Beck's Petrel being completely unknown; both species have been seen very seldom since their discovery by science. The fourth species, the Tahiti Petrel, is a relatively common species across the
Pacific Ocean and is listed as near threatened. One species of
Pseudobulweria has been described from from
subfossil remains on the
Atlantic Ocean island of
Saint Helena.
